This article contains spoilers for the anime episode of Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro Season 2 entitled How Are Your Fortunes This Year, Senpai? on Crunchyroll.

Senpai and Nagatoro (voiced by Sumire Uesakarelationship )’s took an unusual turn last week when she visited him at home to see how he was doing. Even while it’s obvious that Nagatoro and Senpai have a few chemistry, we don’t often see them confront their sentiments. Even though she was denied the opportunity to kiss Senpai, the fact that she is receptive to it undoubtedly alters the nature of their connection. It will be interesting to see where things go from here.

Don t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro Season 2 Episode 6 Recap

Nagatoro asks her sister for recommendations on Christmas presents as the programme begins. If it’s not for someone particular, Misaki advises purchasing consumable items like food. She advises Nagatoro to try buying the person he likes something they’ll use frequently if it’s for them.

Senpai bought Nagatoro a Christmas present, but she doesn’t know how to give it to her. When he wakes up, he decides to merely give it to her at school even though in his dream he was going to present it to her in front of a brightly lit tree. Nagatoro’s pals drag them into the library before he has a chance to deliver it to her in the corridor.

How Does Nagatoro Get out Of Karaoke?

Nagatoro’s buddies split up into two groups at the library: those with boyfriends and those without. The girls decide to go to karaoke after school together even though they don’t have partners since they don’t want to spend Christmas Eve alone. Nagatoro tries to duck the topic when Maki asks if she’ll join them. Senpai is mistaken for another girl’s boyfriend, but Nagatoro reassures them that he is not, leading Maki to extend her invitation once more.

Senpai claims that he left something in his club room as it becomes more obvious that Nagatoro is trying to find an excuse not to leave. Using the same justification, Nagatoro joins Senpai in fleeing.

A Series of Obstacles

Despite their best efforts, something prevents Senpai and Nagatoro from exchanging gifts. From the president of the art club arriving in a bikini to hiding in the nurses’ office from the school’s harshest professor. Senpai grabs his gift even though he doesn’t want to do it there. They hear Sakura and her boyfriend hooking up on one of the beds in the nurses’ office and decide to leave before he can give it to Nagatoro.

Nagatoro and Senpai attempt to climb to the rooftop, believing they have finally fled, only to discover that there are twelve other couples already there.

What Did Senpai and Nagatoro Get Each Other for Christmas?

Senpai decides to give Nagatoro her gift on the roof despite how chilly she is after observing it, in the hopes that the scarf he bought her will keep her warm. Next, Nagatoro presents Senpai with her gift while admitting that she also got him a scarf.

Nagatoro and Senpai visit a shrine

Nagatoro phones Senpai on New Year’s Eve and suggests that he attend the Ishido temple the following day. When he doesn’t see Nagatoro when he arrives, he questions whether he ought to have just invited her straight. She suddenly appears right before he departs to say that she actually accepted a position at the temple. She shows him how to properly visit a shrine as part of her employment and gives him a fortune scroll that warns him that if he does not take action, nothing will change in his relationship.

Senpai initially walks away from the shrine but comes around to see Nagatoro once more. Instead of following through on his original plan to ask her to accompany him to the temple when she got off work, he caves and buys a lucky charm. All he manages to say before vanishing is an embarrassed “I’ll be waiting.” Nagatoro urges him to give her 20 minutes after texting him a joke.

Senpai eventually understands that this shrine is a matchmaking shrine as they enter it jointly this time. Senpai responds that if he were going to ask her out, he would prefer not to leave his chances up to the gods and would rather make it happen himself. She taunts him about making a wish to go out with her at the shrine. They share their wishes at the close of the episode, and Nagatoro teases Senpai after she confides in him that her joke hope was to one day wed him.

Senpai’s character development is one of the best parts of this programme, and every episode that emphasises that development is usually a good one, especially in terms of advancing the romantic aspects of this relationship. Senpai and Nagatoro were not precisely equal when they first began to hang together. Observing him take the lead and proceed with increasing assurance prevents the narrative from becoming monotonous or repetitious. But it’s not only Senpai; it’s obvious that every character has evolved since we originally met them, which makes it simple to become attached to their stories.

This episode’s pacing was excellent, especially in the first half. They did a great job of creating anticipation for the present exchange, and it was both adorable and humorous when it was revealed that they had received identical gifts. It was also a great touch that they continued to wear the scarves for the remainder of the episode. With each episode, it seems as like the emphasis is shifting away from the teasing and toward creating a top-notch slice-of-life romantic animation, and I appreciate the course it’s taking.
